The Fun of Fall

This fall has been all about feeding farm animals, playing among the pumpkins and outdoor fun; all things that I'm adding to my 'greatest memory' bank and hoping James is as well.  We have spent every weekend this month exploring all the kid friendly parts of Dallas.  These past 2 weekends were no exception, hitting up the Texas State Fair and the Dallas Arboretum.

You can't get any cuter then baby lambs.

Well, maybe baby goats???

 Nope, baby donkey takes the cute cake!

Party On

Finding Fall

Autumn is not quite the same in Texas as it was in Ohio or the East Coast, but I'm doing my best to find it where ever I can; a cool night, a fire in the fireplace, pumpkin bread, pumpkin patch trips and digging out the boots.  No changing leaves or sweaters yet... but we are getting there and enjoying the slow way that Texas unfolds the season.  A few early fall highlights;
